I work in - do I dare say it - the Insurance Industry! I am a disability adjuster. Parts of my job that I do like are medical related, but I do have other interests. Like this site.

I have been reluctant to change jobs to IT mainly because I do believe the corporate structuring of IT is not very creative for me. Plus they just moved most of the fun IT jobs to Ireland.

My dream job would be running CR full-time, but with 3 kids to raise, clothe and feed that may not happen. But I have to say that I do love running this site immensely and hope that it provides some happiness and scenery to the people that visit and listen.

You have successfully created a place where many people are able to gather and enjoy good music, good conversation and good friendships. How many people can say that about something they do? Many thanks, Macfive! biggrin.gif

Wow your jobs sound so cool! I hope you are all happy with them! My occupation
right now does not pay any bills. Rather it asks for money that builds up and up until a later date when it all needs to be paid back.... That's right you guessed it! I am a student. I ask for money. Haha! Seriously thought what bills and expenses I have are paid by my on-campus jbs of a computer lab assistant (aka make sure peope don't break the compters) and Lab assistant (aka make sure peole don't break the cameras and editing equipment). Cheers!

There's a dear little plant that grows in our Isle
Twas St . Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun of his labour with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the
Mireland, and they call it the dear little shamrock of Ireland.

I am a charter boat captain on Georgia's coast. People pay me to take them fishing are just cruise around the barrier islands sightseeing. I also help Georgia's cotton farmers market their cotton. But my favorite job is being a grandfather.

I'm in the navy for 19 years ! laugh.gif
Changing job every 2 or 3 years, we are supposed to adapt very fast...
Since summer 2002 I'm trying to deal with the recurrent deficit in the staff, hard to complete the crews...so I'm a bit nervous from time to time user posted image biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
But I love my job even if it's sometimes difficult in France to be in the military forces : we have a very bad reputation and often have to endure aggressiveness, and scorn sad.gif , don't know why ...

I am a fund raisier - I work with non-profit organization assisiting them in rasing the fund needed to full fill there missions. Recently I have been a consultent working with hospitals throughout the New England region in directing capital Campaigns. During the past 10 years I have helped build a Cancer Center in CT, a new Emergency Department in RI, a home for Hospice patients in upstate NY and a Cardiac Center in ME.

No, I do not work for a % of what I raise, I work on a fee for service contract. Our profession frowns on % fund-raising.

If there is beauty in the character,
there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.
So let it be.

Maybe it's because they are French. I am somewhat annoyed with our allies in Europe and elsewhere. America is the first to defend our allies especially when they make a mistake. Our allies are the first to ridicule whan we make a mistake.

Maybe we should ask what America needs to look for in a friend.

Single speed,

You know I'm tired, tired to defend my job in France, having to prove all the time that because I'm a military I'm not necessarily stupid an violent. Tired to defend my country here, trying to explain that because we are against the war in Irak we are not necessarily cowards or traitors or I don't know what else. It's not the right place to do that and I'm not fluent enough to explain properly, so there can be misunderstandings.
You know I'm not representing the French government here...

Celtica,
I salute you for your dedication to service, and your willingness to continue serving during very difficult times.
You may not be representing your government, but you are representing a proud tradition of those who serve their country honorably when called upon.
"Never again shall one generation of veterans abandon another." Founding principle of the Vietnam Nam Veterans of America.
One thing to keep in mind is that while those you are sworn to defend may not appreciate your service now, things can and do change. Those of us returning from the Vietnam were misunderstood at best and often ill-received at the time, but now when we march in parades receive loud cheers from generations for whom the war is little more than a footnote in their history books.

I am currently an attorney editor for a major legal publisher in Rochester, NY. At the risk of over-statement, essentially, my job is to maintain a steady flow of manuscript translating the flood of new legislation, cases, and regulations into terms readily understood by attorneys so they can properly advise their clients.
Prior to that, I was a clinical instructor at a law school in Tacoma, WA, where I also spent a few years a staff attorney at a legal aid office.
Prior to that, I spent 7 years in the US Air Force, with most of that time in SEA as an airborne voice intercept operator/flight examiner flying in the back-end of RC-135M's, RC-130BII's, and EC-121's, mostly over the Gulf of Tonkin and occasionally the Plaines des Jarres.
